South Weston

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

South Weston is a village is Oxfordshire that was mentioned in the Domesday Book.

The Church of Saint Lawrence is the parish church. The current church was built in 1860, incorporating some elements of the older Norman Church. On the eastern window, on the outside is a statue of Saint Lawrence that dates from the 14th Century. There is also a tomb recess in the North Chancel Wall from the same time. The arm chairs within the church were a donation from Reynardson family of Adwell. The church had a renovation in 1988 to make it more suitable for holding services. Until the mid 19th Century the church had strong links with Queen's College, Oxford. It has approximately 19 houses in the parish area. The nearby Weslian Chapel and Pub were built around the time of the church. The pub called 'The Salisbury Arms' converted the chapel into a barn and was used by the pub owners. The pub was converted into a house in 1975 and is now called 'Salisbury Lodge'.
